Centuries of tabaco industry in Macedonia

Mako's citadel in the distance.....

Lenka

Otkako Lenka ostavi
koshula tenka lenena
nedovezena na razboj
i na naloni otide
tutun da redi v Monopol,
Iceto i se izmeni ,
vegite padnaa na dolu
i usni svija koravo....

Ne beshe Lenka rodena
za tija pusti tutuni
tutuni -zolti otrovi
za gradi - kitki rozovi...

prva godina pomina
grutka i v srceto legna
Vtora godina namina
bolest ja v gradi iskina
teta godina, zemjata
na Lenka pokri snagata...

I noke koga Mesechko
grob i so svila vieshe,
vetetot tiho nad nea
zalna i taga reeshe:
"Zoshto, mi zoshto
ostana koshula ne dotkaena?
Koshula beshe darovna...."

Kosta Apostolov Solev - Racin
1908-1943
